Benefits of technology

[0013] A further advantage of the present invention is that, by virtue of the one-piece unitary angled design of the device, the device can be used t

Problems solved by technology

During periods of very cold weather, it is not unusual for door linkage mechanisms, such as those found on motor vehicles, to freeze in a closed or locked position due to ice build-up in the vicinity of the mechanism, thus rendering the interior of the vehicle inaccessible to an owner or operator.
However, as the elongated space between a motor vehicle door and door jamb is usually quite narrow, it is often difficult to apply such solvents directly to the linkage mechanism.
Also, in very cold and windy weather, such solvents are often rendered in

Embodiment Construction

[0018]FIG. 1 illustrates a car door opener 1 of the present invention for opening a frozen or stiff seal formed between a door and a door frame, having a first plate portion 2 and a second plate portion 3. As can be seen in FIG. 1, the first plate portion 2 is in spaced relation to the second plate portion 3 to form a substantially right angle about a central point 5. Preferably, the first 2 and second plate portions 3 are disposed from 60 degrees to 85 degrees from each other about the central point 5, though it is conceivable that the first 2 and second plate portions 3 could be disposed from between 45 degrees to 85 degrees from each other, as would be apparent to a person skilled in the art.

[0019] With reference to FIG. 2, a top perspective view of the car door opener illustrated in FIG. 1 is shown, which shows the second plate portion 3 having an aperture 9 therein, wherein a ring of a key chain 11 is inserted through the aperture 9 and the car door opener 1 is secured to the ...

Abstract

A door opener for opening a frozen or stiff foam or rubber seal formed between a door and a door frame, which possesses first and second plate portions. The first plate portion is adapted for placement in a frame opening between the door frame and the door, and the second plate portion is adapted to be manipulated by a user, by attachment to a key chain. The first plate portion is in spaced relation to the second plate portion so as to form a substantially right angle about a central point, whereby an end of the first plate portion can be inserted for placement in the frame opening between the door frame and the door by the user, and engage a lip of the door.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a device for opening a stiff or frozen door which is inexpensive, reliable, and portable, and which is readily positionable in the immediate vicinity of the stiff or frozen door. More particularly, the present invention relates to a device for opening stiff or frozen vehicle doors which is simple, compact, and through use of which device great leverage can be gained to open the stiff or frozen door, without causing cosmetic damage to the exterior of the door or immediate area surrounding the vicinity where the device is inserted. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART [0002] During periods of very cold weather, it is not unusual for door linkage mechanisms, such as those found on motor vehicles, to freeze in a closed or locked position due to ice build-up in the vicinity of the mechanism, thus rendering the interior of the vehicle inaccessible to an owner or operator. Locksmiths are generally able to free the frozen linkage mechan...
